As well as using File > Open to open models in the single file format (.psmodel), you can:
- When starting up
PowerShape using a command prompt, type the following:
powershape model_name
Note: For the above command to work, you must have FILE OPEN IFNONE in your login macro. - Double-click a .psmodel file. If the program is not running, it starts and then opens the model.
- Right-click the .psmodel file in Windows Explorer and select Open.
- Drag and drop one or more .psmodel files into the program window.
- Double-click a PowerShape.exe shortcut.
- Double-click a .psmodel shortcut.
- In a web browser, click on a URL to a .psmodel;
for example:
file://pshape/models/bottle_example.psmodel.
You can open the model immediately or download it and open it later.
- With
PowerShape open, select File > Recent to see the last four models listed. The
read
or
write
status when they were opened is also shown.
To open a recently opened model, click the model name you want. It opens with the same read or write status as last time.
